I want to install a mongrel rails server with an apache in fronthead,
all that on OpenBSD. But OpenBSD is released with a homemade Apache
1.3.29 patched by the OpenBSD team. I really want to keep this version
of apache and I don't want to change it to Apache 2.x (because of the
security and the license but it's not the point here). But for having
mongrel, it has to be with a Apache 2.x because the mod_proxy with
balancer is not compatible with Apache 1.3.
Is there a solution to this ? Have I to use fastcgi on openbsd with
apache ? What solution should I use in my specific case ?
I *think* you should be able to use Apache 1.3's mod_proxy to reverse
proxy to something like pound, pen or nginx to handle load-balancing
between a pack of mongrels. I recal seeing essentially the same
solution recommended for overcoming load-balancing issues with
lighttpd's mod_proxy.
